    Included in the selection are the Aztec Lily, African Violet, Bog Rosemary, Camellia, Dogwood, Evening Primrose, Forget-me-not, Gloxinia, Holly, Sacred Lotus, Magnolia, Oak, Orchid, Wild Strawberry, Parrot Tulip, and dozens of other floral motifs.
    These crisply rendered designs lend themselves to a myriad of decorative applications: needlework and craft projects, illustrations, borders, frames, and corner cuts for advertisements, stationery, book covers, menus, invitations, almost anything that would be enhanced by an elegant floral touch.Needleworkers, craftspeople, graphic artists, illustrators, and anyone needing floral illustrations will find this volume a handy source of exceptional, ready-to-use designs . . . costing only pennies apiece.
